Demonstrative Communication

Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative communication is defined as the non-verbal communication in which senders and receivers exchange messages and/or feedbacks in an unwritten unspoken wordless manner. Demonstrative communication consists of body postures, facial expressions, tone of voice and many other gestures that can convey the senders’ thoughts and emotions. In my opinion, demonstrative communication is equally or even more common than traditional (oral or written) communication on both conscious and sub-conscious levels. Demonstrative communication could used to support a sent verbal message, or it could be used as a “stand-alone” method in sending messages or feedbacks. Just like other types of communication, demonstrative communication holds its’ advantages as well as disadvantages for both senders and receivers. As I mentioned previously, encoding and decoding does not require much time and effort when done through demonstrative communication. One can answer to a yes or no question by obviously and simply nodding his/her head with agreement or disagreement. Gauging someone’s reaction to learn their feedback is another use of demonstrative communication. As a manager, I personally use this technique a lot in the business environment. For example, this method is put to good use when I want to subtly gauge an employee’s reaction regarding implementing a new suggestion or when a new colleague is being introduced to the team. Another advantage of demonstrative communication is when it is used to add to the sender’s charisma especially while in an interview or when meeting someone new. Smiling, smelling fresh, a firm hand shake, being well dressed and speaking with a confident but cheerful tone of voice, all can give an idea of the…...

Demonstrative Communication Paper
Demonstrative communication plays a significant role in the way one communicates with others. With the many forms of communication continuing to change with all the technology that we use on a day-to-day basis many tend to rely on this technology for their main form of communication and this is growing higher and higher as new forms of communication develop. “We are witnessing a breathtaking evolution of new forms of digital communication. More than witnessing, we are facilitating it. All of this is unfolding so quickly that we do not have time to pause and reflect on what is happening.”(Iskold, 2007)
Due to the increase usage of technology, there is less face-to-face communication that we once relied on, where one could observe the receiver, their response and the reactions to the conversation. In addition, the sender can relay a certain tone in the conversation in order for the receiver to understand the full meaning of the message. The first perception of communication is that we spend most of our time talking, but in fact we spend the majority of our time communicating non-verbally or through demonstrative communication, especially now with all the technology that has made communicating with others outside of face to face possible and has made it also much quicker and easier. There are a quite a few ways that we communicate demonstratively such as: tone of......

Demonstrative Communication
Communication is demonstrated in several different ways. Its most commonly defined as the process of sending and receiving messages (Cheesbro, O’Connor, and Rios, 2010). This includes all give-and-take of information, thoughts, and messages. Communication is proficient orally or non-orally. Oral communication consist of written and verbal communication, however nonverbal communication consist of body posture, facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, and eye contact.
As stated previous, demonstrative communication also contains unwritten and nonverbal communications. Demonstrative communication entails sending and receiving wordless messages (Nayab, 2010). It’s used to strengthen verbal communication, though it can support and send messages by itself. Facial expressions are the greatest form of nonverbal communication in a business setting. According to Nayab (2010), it’s believed that body language accounts for more than 50% of all communication.
Demonstrative communication highlights spoken communication. For instance, appearance, friendly appeal and a strong handshake can express largely about what type of individual somebody is during an interview. A person can rely on these qualities to reinforce his or her verbal performance (Sutton, 2011). The minute an individual meets someone, they’re able to tell if that person is nice, not simply because......

From the beginning of time, man has used demonstrative communication as a way of communicating with other people. In the day of the caveman, nonverbal gestures were a normal way of communication. As time evolved and man became more civilized, he maintained his ability to communicate nonverbally. This paper is a look into the types, effects, and elements of demonstrative communication, highlighting both positive and negative elements of this type of communication.
According to Phillips (1998), the adage “It’s not what you say, it is how you say it, that counts, is a true statement.” A person in a leadership role must be aware of how he communicates non-verbally to ensure they are projecting the appropriate meaning into their message. According to Flowers and Daley (personal communication, February 1, 2012), company X, a fierce competitor of company Y, called simultaneous meetings to announce a merger of the two businesses, both companies used the exact presentation materials. The location manager for each location delivered the news to his respective employees. The manager of company X delivered the message by greeting employees by name as he or she filed into the conference room; he made prolonged eye contact with employees and stood tall during his delivery. The manager of company Z delivered the message standing behind a lectern, looking at the......

Demonstrative Communication Paper
* How common is demonstrative communication in your everyday life? As I was researching I found out that demonstrative communication plays a very important role in our everyday communication being a key factor when we are doing business; especially if it is international business because what can be normal or common to us; might be disrespectful to others. Demonstrative communication can be effective and ineffective, positive or negative for the sender and the receiver; it is our job to figure it out how to interpret it and how we manage ourselves in-front of others. Demonstrative communication also involves listening and responding in different ways, not just verbally, I will explain this point fully in the following paper.
* Description
* Demonstrative communication can be delivered via body, physiology, or nonverbal. It is very important how you communicate nonverbally because it can affect your message and the receiver can misinterpret your point very easily. On the other hand, the sender can misinterpret the feedback of the receiver. Our body plays a very important role in nonverbal communication. For example, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice, body language, and among others. All these can......

...Communication is generally defined as the process of sending and receiving messages. There are several elements in the communication process: a sender or receiver of a message, encoding and decoding the, the message itself, the channel through which the message is sent/received, and the feedback associated with the message (Cheesebro, O’Connor & Rios, 2010). There are a number of channels through which to send and receive messages, such as verbal and written communication. However, an extremely important and effective way of communicating is through demonstrative communication. Demonstrative communication is non-verbal and unwritten communication and can be tremendously powerful.
Though words are not exchanged, demonstrative communication can speak volumes through action, body language, facial expression, posture, eye contact, and physical contact. Even if someone is speaking, demonstrative communication can tell a completely different story than the words coming out of one’s mouth. For demonstrative communication to be effective, it should be in alignment with the intent of the message that is being delivered or received. When out of alignment, demonstrative communication can cause misinterpretation of messages and those messages’ intent.
Demonstrative communication often precedes verbal communication. Clothing, a particular hair style, tattoos, piercings, and face makeup can send influential messages before words are ever exchanged (Cheesebro, O’Connor &......

We use a form of communication to communicate with each another in our everyday lives. Even as a new born we learn to communicate with our parents. If we were hungry we would cry. If we were tired and sleepy we would become grouchy. If we needed our diaper change, we would become irritable and would scream and cry until someone changed our diaper. These nonverbal communications would let our parent know that something was wrong without physically having to say a single word.
Communication can be defined as the process of sending and receiving messages. When I first thought of communication, one person talking to another person came to mind; but I soon realize that communication is much more complicated than that. Communication can be categorized into two forms, verbal and nonverbal. Verbal communication includes communicating in the forms of written and oral messages. Nonverbal communication includes a person body language and gesture.
One of the most common ways we communicate with each is nonverbally with our body language. Our body language includes our posture, our gestures, our facial expression as well as eye contact, emotion, tone of voice, and our touch. This type of nonverbal communication is called demonstrative communication. Demonstrative communication is a form of communicating that includes nonverbal and unwritten means of communicating. For example, when a person smiles at you; that’s an indication that he or she is in a good......

Demonstrative Communication
Communication is best defined as a process of sending and receiving messages, as well as how those messages are interpreted and deciphered. Communication begins with a sender who must decide how to effectively convey a message with proper vernacular and choose a medium for the message. The more clear and coherent the sender makes their message, the more likely they will convey their message without a breakdown in understanding. There are many ways a sender can pass information such as verbal or written forms of communication. This could involve mediums like email, letters, or even video chat. Demonstrative communication is the process by which the sender is communicating through nonverbal and unwritten forms of communications such as body language, facial expressions, or even tone of voice. Demonstrative communication can be a very powerful and effective form of communication, or it can lead to a big miscommunication between the sender and the receiver of information. The trouble with nonverbal forms of communication is that not only must the sender convey the message through body language or facial expressions, but the receiver must also be able to correctly interpret the message being sent.
Facial expressions can be viewed as either positive or negative. If a person is smiling when they send information, the receiver could view......

Demonstrative Communication
There are many important aspects in life that one must consider. One important aspect is communication. Communication skills are required every day in life. Communication can be defined as a process which consists of sending and receiving messages (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). This process is important because it is used every day. This process can be done in several ways. Communication can be sent and received verbally and non-verbally. Verbal communication is the most known type of communication only because many do not know that communication is also nonverbal. One important type of nonverbal communication is demonstrative communication. Demonstrative communication is not spoken. It is a form of communication that is done by facial expressions, body language, and signs. Demonstrative communication can be effective, ineffective, positive, and negative for the sender and receiver. It also involves listening and responding from both the sender and receiver.
Demonstrative communication can be both effective and ineffective in many ways. Demonstrative communication is usually effective when the message sent is sent correctly, when the message is comprehended easily, and when the message is sent correct. One must be able to understand the message clearly for it to be considered effective. This helps with avoiding confusion. The message should contain correct......

...Demonstrative Communication is an incredibly important part of communication in people. I can convey things that verbal communication is just not capable of conveying. It is much like a second language that everyone knows, but a lot of people don't knowingly pay attention to. Everyone uses demonstrative communication, but how many people really know what it is?
Demonstrative communication involves parts of communication that are not direct verbal communications. These nonverbal communications are things such as body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. Two thirds of the communication between people is done in these nonverbal forms and it is important to recognize and understand the nonverbal aspects to your own communication as well as those around you.
Here is one example of demonstrative communication. Let’s say you were having a conversation with someone about your new shirt, and that person told you that they really liked your shirt, you could take this information literally, and believe what they are saying is truly how they feel or you could read their nonverbal cues to find the truth in what they are saying. If their posture is uninviting, and the tone of their voice is very dull and unenthusiastic, it is likely that they are really just telling you what you want to hear, not what they really feel. Their nonverbal cues indicate that perhaps they really do not like your shirt at all.
A second example of nonverbal communication would be if a......

...Demonstrative Communication is very important when trying to communicate words that rely on images. Communication can be defined as the process of sending and receiving messages. This includes nonverbal and unwritten communication that involves facial expressions, tone of voice and body language. Written communication can be done through emails, reports, articles, etc. Demonstrative communication can be both effective and non-effective for the sender and receiver. Most importantly demonstrative communication involves listening and responding.
Communication involves the exchange of information, thoughts, or messages, by using behavior, writing, signals or speech. This communication can be verbal or nonverbal, visual or written. Verbal communication can be wrtten or oral communication. Nonverbal communication consists of eye contact or body language.
The content of a message will go a long way in explaining the idea that is being presented. Images can greatly enhance communication by providing a visual demonstration of ideas being discussed. Presenting these images can occur on a picture and graphical based level. For example, explaining the importance of incorporating veterans back into the workforce in the United States to a large audience, is done best by portraying positive images of the troops coming home. Discussing how over the last year your business growth has grown steadily is done best by using a graph or line bar.
Comparing ideas is another way......

Demonstrative Communication
Demonstrative communication is a process of communicating with an individual or a group of individuals. The sender is communicating how one is feeling or thinking. Demonstrative communication is communication that comprises the interchange of shared messages and deliberation through the procedure of verbal and nonverbal and active listening communication.
When we communicate nonverbal, we are communicating messages with our nonverbal communication as if we are communicating verbally with others. Demonstrative communication can be affective or ineffective, as well as positive and negative. It is all depending on how the message is received and communicated. The information must be precisely communicated in a way the receiver can understand. If the message that was communicated by the sender is understandable and leave no question in mind, then the communication......

...Demonstrative communication is a nonverbal communication skill set. If demonstrative communication is executed properly it is a two-way process between the sender and receiver. The sender through nonverbal communication must send the correct message, and the listener must receive and interpret the message correctly. Several types of demonstrative communication are facial expressions, gestures, and voice tonal delivery. Demonstrative communication, as with any form of communication can be positive, negative, effective, and ineffective for both the sender and receiver. Key to this process is the audience listening and responding appropriately to ensure the messenger receives valuable feedback. Communicating is vital to daily life and practicing effective communication will ensure the proper message is sent and received.
Facial expressions are the most common form of demonstrative communication. Nayad 2011, “Research estimates that body language, including facial expressions, account for 55 percent of all communication” (Physical Nonverbal Communication, p. 1). A positive facial expression example is as simple genuine smile of happiness. Of course interpreting variances of the smile can be positive and even negative dependent upon interpretation. For example, the interpretation of a grin can be seen as a sign of arrogance dependent on the connotation and is an example of a negative facial expression. Another example of a negative facial expression is the ever popular frown......

Demonstrative Communication
Communication is defined as a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior. (Merriam-Webster.com)
Demonstrative communication uses nonverbal or unwritten forms of communication. It is used to enhance the sending and receiving of messages through nonverbal communications such as facial expressions, tone of voice, posture, gestures, body language etc. Demonstrative communication can be both effective and ineffective. It can also have positive and negative effects on the sender and the receiver.
One example of demonstrative communication would be using eye contact when delivering a message. Say you were giving a lecture on a subject to a small audience. If you are using eye contact with each individual in the audience at various intervals, it shows the audience that you are confident in the information you are giving them, as well as letting them know that it is important to you that they receive the message clearly. It shows that you are paying attention to how they are receiving the message you are sending. If your eyes are wandering around the room and not making contact with the audience, that could send a negative message to them. They may think that you are not interested in the message you are trying to send, thus leading them to believe that you may not know anything about the...

Have you ever played charades? If you have then you have used demonstrative communication. You might not have realized that was the form of communication you were using, but the game of charades is actually a game of demonstrative communication. Let’s look at the different forms of demonstrative communication and the effectiveness of them.
Forms of Demonstrative Communication
Demonstrative communication is the process of communicating nonverbally. There are many different forms of demonstrative communication. For example, the tone of voice one uses when talking to someone can be considered demonstrative communication. Another form of demonstrative communication would be the facial expressions the sender or receiver uses while they are verbally communicating. The body language of the sender or receiver during a conversation can also be considered demonstrative communication. Even the clothes you wear, the style in which your hair is cut, the distance which you need from who you are communicating with, or whether you do or do not touch someone during a conversation can all be considered forms of demonstrative communication ("About.com", 2012). Demonstrative communication is all about the nonverbally actions of a person; it does not matter if the person is the sender or receiver in the communication process.

Communication can be defined as “the process of sending and receiving messages.” Communication can be verbal, nonverbal, written, or visual. Communication involves the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, by speech, signals, writing, or behavior. Verbal communication includes oral and written communication whereas nonverbal communication and includes facial expressions, body posture, eye contact, or gestures. Written communication can be done through emails, reports, articles, etc.
According to the syllabus, Demonstrative communication can be defined as “nonverbal and written communication and involves such things as facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and so forth” (University of Phoenix, 2011, Course Syllabus). Demonstrative communication includes “nonverbal and unwritten communications. Demonstrative communication entails sending and receiving wordless messages” (Nayab, 2010). It is often used to reinforce verbal communication, though it can stand alone and convey messages on its own. Facial expressions are often the most common among all nonverbal communication. Demonstrative communication reinforces verbal communication. For example, dressing properly, a firm handshake, and a friendly demeanor can speak volumes about the kind of person someone is at a job interview. A person can rely on these qualities to reinforce his or her verbal......
